[Moodboard] Moodboard for THE GODS OF ATALANTIS featuring: Ancient board games, temples with waterfalls pouring into pools, neat ancient fantasy cities, forehead kisses, frolicking in canals amid a palace, beautiful island coastlines, more ancient cities, and cool statues of strange gods. Center Quote: “From the day you left this village, you became more than merely yourself. You are the Sea Mother. This is the role fate has placed upon you. I told you when you left that I believed this path has opened up to you for a reason. I still believe that. You’ve been given a chance that few others ever have—the chance to change the world for the better. I’d even dare say it’s your duty to do so, now that you have the means.”

What readers are saying about Bludeye Beach... “I really can't say enough good things about this book. The setting and lore of Bludeye Beach are immediately compelling with an energetic pacing that will make it hard to put the book down. But the most magical elements are the characters themselves. I felt a powerful connection with Edie and would lay my life on the line for any of those feisty teens, especially as they grow up to find life ever more complicated. And that's not even counting the fantastic cast of colorful characters around town who each have their own stories to tell. What we learn in this book is just the tip of the iceberg that the town of Bludeye Beach represents, leaving plenty more to explore as the series progresses while satisfying your curiosity just enough for now. But the emotional core of the story is just as important as the mysteries that need solving, and there is no shortage of heart.”

There is no audible dialogue in this video, everything is set to the song "Shooting Stars" by Bag Raiders. It opens on a plush octopus leading to a logo for "Hook & Quill Press". It cuts to various people dancing and pointing to word bubbles describing the new company, a new zine, a new podcast From Tree to Book Writing Group, and that the first book is set to be released in early 2026.
A plush octopus looks up at a wooden door. We see the bottom of a sign. The writing is cut off, but it looks like it could be saying "Hook & Quill Press" which honestly, isn't really a twist at all
